Conservative icon and Hollywood legend James Woods has announced he’s ditching the Republican Party. Woods, a fierce patriot and vocal supporter of President Trump, blasted the “uniparty traitors” in a fiery post on X, declaring, “I am done with the Republican Party.” Woods’ decision comes amid growing frustration with Senate Republican leadership, particularly cowardly Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD), who has continuously stalled the crucial SAVE Act, a bill designed to safeguard American elections by requiring proof of citizenship for voter registration.[snip] “I’m changing my party affiliation to Independent.

Unfortunately, there's no meaningful alternative, as Elon Musk found out. I doubt James Woods is so stupid as to vote democrat.

I for one am very happy that James Woods is speaking out. He is saying exactly what I would say if I was as well known as he is. On Fox News this morning Maria Bartiromo grilled John Barrasso, the Senate Majority Whip, as to when the Senate would take up the Save Act. He wriggled like an eel but after much prodding said the Senate would take it up but didn’t say when. President Trump must take a hammer to these spineless Republicans

I did the same thing when they foisted that squishy rino Romney on us. It had no effect, but I sleep better at night knowing I'm not supporting cowards, grifters and appeasers.

I'm with Woods on this though I changed my affiliation over a decade ago. I am unaffiliated because the Republican party sold us down the river long ago. Our worst enemies are Rinos like Tillis. At least you know what a Democrat stands for: death, sexual deviancy, and destruction. The Republicans talk out of both sides of their mouths and the female Republicans who we all think, "Now there's a woman who talks sense," she changes her tune not long after she gets in office, because her feelings get her all muddled up in her thinking. The likes of Schlafly, and Thatcher - these are the hen's teeth of women who don't shift like the wind. I'm sorry if that hurts any woman's feelings but that's my two cents, speaking as a woman. I support Trump and conservatives, but not Republicans.

The Uniparty is no friend of mine. They get plenty of my money - not directly, but after it's laundered by corporate oligarchs from whom I buy things - which reminds me - I need to step up my boycotting. I'll begin by boycotting US elections - which are the world's most corrupt. We'll never get new party if people keep voting for Republicans

A non-vote is a vote for a Democrat and once they control all three branches of government, we’ll have to fight our way out of socialism. Even if you have to hold your nose, pull the lever for Republicans. According to St. Augustine, “It is better to light a single candle than to curse the darkness!”

Jesse Jackson Jr. took a not-so-subtle swipe at three former Democratic presidents who spoke at his father’s memorial service — Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden — saying they did not know the real Jesse Jackson.[snip] Jackson Jr. — who served as a Democratic representative from Illinois between 1995 and 2012 — made his remarks a day after the ex-presidents honored his father. Obama’s speech was the most political of the three former presidents, with Obama clearly dissing President Donald Trump at one point, without mentioning him by name.

Every major Democrat who still matters showed up: Joe Biden, Bill Clinton, Kamala Harris, Hillary Clinton, Jill Biden, California Gov. Gavin Newsom. That’s right: sitting with a bunch of other couples, Barack Obama once again went stag. The Obamas themselves issued a joint statement about Jackson's death that made Michelle's absence on Friday all the more glaring. "Michelle got her first glimpse of political organizing at the Jacksons' kitchen table when she was a teenager," the statement read.

Host Jake Tapper said, “So as I just referenced this morning on Axios, two very Well-sourced reporters in the administration, Barak Ravid, Marc Caputo for Axios are reporting that the US is weighing, they have not made a decision, but are weighing sending in special forces to specifically seize Iran’s enriched uranium.

What’s your reaction?” Murphy said, “I mean, this is already a war that is becoming an ongoing disaster.

It’s not really surprising. The trend of funerals turning into political rallies and platforms for lecturing those with whom they disagree started with Paul Wellstone's funeral, which was also a rally. So, when the memorial service for the late Reverend Jesse Jackson was held this week with Barack Obama, Joe Biden, the Clintons, and Kamala Harris in attendance, it was no surprise that it turned into a spectacle. It also serves as a reminder of why Donald J. Trump was elected in 2024.

But here in a hotel ballroom, the party’s beleaguered moderates have another message — not so fast. Leaders at Third Way’s conference talked over and over about how Democrats can’t swing too far left in the midterms, or when picking their next presidential nominee, if they have any hope of winning back the White House. The title of the two-day, invite-only conference: “Winning the Middle.” And there was plenty of advice on how to do that. Be plainspoken, not lofty or academic. Don’t live online, but
